PHILIP JACOB DIEHL, on Burma; PENNSYLVANIA.

nee BEATER.

Application filed April 2,

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, PHILIP J. DmHL, a-

citizen of the United States of America, and

a resident of Butler, in the county of Butler and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Egg Beater, of which the following is a description.

My invention relates to an egg beater so. called and is particularly intended for embodiment in the beatcrsof cake mixing machines for mixing batter, icin etc. The arms of the beater in the machlnes referred to not lnfrequently break oil at their juncture with the head carrying the same and by which the arms are attached to the revolving spindle of the machine.

'The general object of my invention is to provide a beaterimproved With respect to the means for attaching the beater arms to the head, whereby the danger of breakage is practically eliminated.

The stated object is retained by providing an attaching means for the beaterarms V embodying my invention;

characterized by resiliency, thus eliminating the unyielding character of the ordinary head and preventing the arms breaking at the juncture with the head.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a partof this specification, it being understood that the drawings are merely illustrative of one example of the invention.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a heater Figure '2 is a transverse sectionas indicated by the line 2'-2, Figure 1;

Figure 3 is a detail in vertical section on an enlarged scale, the section being taken through one of the plugs provided for lending resiliency to the head at each beater In the illustrated example 10 indicates ahead having a shank 11 formedwith a socket 12 at its upper end to receive the usual dIlVG,

spindle of a known form of cake mixing machine.

The 7 beater arms 13 generally of known shape. .aresecrired to the head as follows: Said'head lO has a section 14 in the 1 form of a separate annular member forming the lower portion of said head. In the'head section or annular member 14, an annular series of sockets 15 are produced and internally threaded. Each socket 15 receives 1923. Serial No. 629,468.

an elongated plug 16 preferably of leather or equlvalent elastic material which is screwed into place in the socket 15 to firmly hold the plug in place. The plug 16 has a vertical through-bore for the passage of the vertical upper end of a heater arm member. Coaxial with the bore in the plug 16 is a bore 17 in the top of the head member 14 so that the member of a heater arm 13 passes vertically through the plug 16 and through said bore 17 to the top of the head member 14-. Above the head member 14 the member of the beater arm 13 is upset as at 18 to prevent said heater arm member from pulling out of its position. The upset upper ends 18 of the beater arinmembers are accommodated in rounded recesses 20 in the under side of the body of the head 10 directly above the separate annular member 1 1.

With the described construction the re- I ciently to prevent the bending of the beater arms in a manner to crystallize the same adjacent the under side of the head. Thus, the life of the beater arms is greatly prolonged;

I would state in conclusion that while the illustrated example constitutes a practical embodiment of my invention, I do not limit myself strictly to the exact details herein illustrated, since, manifestly, the same can be considerably varied without departure from. the spirit of the invention .as defined in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, I

. claim:

ing a head adapted to be driven; beater arms on said head, and plugs of yielding material 7 in said head, through which plugs the upper ends. of the said beater arms pass into the head.

3. A beater of the class described including a head adapted to be driven, and beater arms, carried by said head, the lower portion of wlii'ehhead isin the form. of .a member separate from the bdy 6f the he'ddfsaid separate member having internally threaded sockets at the under side thereef -and leather
